New to c++, program issue

Trouble getting my program to display the tournament winner with the winner's average score. My instructor told me I was calculating the average AFTER I compare it to the highest so far. I tried moving around the calculation for average score/avgScore and the if statement determining the highest average and the tournament winner. Can someone tell me where to place my statements?

if (avgScore > avgScore){
...

That if statement will always be false, you're comparing something to itself. Maybe you meant to compare
if (avgScore > highestAvg)? I would suggest breaking the program up into specific functions, it makes it much easier for someone else to see what's going on.

Ok thanks, I got it to show something other then 0. However, now its simply displaying the last score as the highest avg and the winner as -1. (The winner should be a number like 2107 or 1193 - the playerid and the highest average should be 223.60)
